Everest ETR2-24 48 In. Side Mount Undercounter Refrigerator, 24 In. Depth Class, 2 Solid Doors, 9 Cu. Ft., Stainless Steel Worktop

The Everest ETR2-24 is the shallow depth version of the two door ET Series side mount undercounter refrigerator, trimming the cabinet to 23 5/8 inches deep so 9 cubic feet of chilled storage and a 16 gauge stainless steel worktop fit where the standard 31 1/2 inch deep line will not. Narrow galleys, bar backs, and corridor prep lines get two independently locking 17 inch doors without surrendering walkway, and the top still works as prep counter space. The condensing unit rides in a housing at the left end and breathes through the front grille, so the cabinet backs flush against a wall or tucks under a shallow counter.

Side Mounted Blizzard R290 Cartridge that Swaps without On-Site Brazing

The cooling system is a side mounted, self-contained and fully detachable Blizzard R290 condensing unit, and because the whole cartridge slides out, a service tech can replace the entire sealed system without on-site brazing instead of parking the box for days over a compressor problem. The 1/4+ horsepower compressor is rated at 1,557 BTU per hour and runs natural R290 refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of three, and the unit arrives pre-wired and ready to plug in on a standard 115V circuit.

Electronically commutated fan motors pull the cabinet down to temperature while drawing less power, and a full-length air duct keeps cold air circulating evenly instead of pooling near the evaporator. Defrost runs automatically on a time-initiated, temperature-terminated cycle, the self-maintaining condensate pan needs no external drain line or electric heater, the auto-reverse condenser fan supports compressor ventilation and helps keep the condenser coil clean, and pressure relief devices let staff re-open a just-closed door instead of waiting out the vacuum.

Two Solid Stainless Steel Doors with Pre-Installed Locks

Each 17 inch door opens its own side of the cabinet, so grabbing garnish from one end never spills cold air across the whole box, and in this shallow chassis the cabinet needs just 39 inches of clear depth with both doors open, the shortest swing in the side mount line. The doors are heavy duty stainless steel inside and out with 2.5 inch high density polyurethane insulation, self-close through an adjustable torsion system, and carry snap-in magnetic gaskets that pop out for cleaning without tools. Frame heaters stop exterior moisture build up around the openings, the high strength recessed handles stay out of the walkway, and the pre-installed locks keep stock secure after close.

9 Cu. Ft. Open Interior Under a 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Worktop

Behind the doors is an open spaced interior with no walls between compartments, so pans and bins of prepped product slide in without fighting dividers. Four epoxy coated steel wire shelves, two per section, sit on height adjustable stainless steel clips, and silicone coated, shatter-proof LED lighting throws bright, high color light through the cavity while adding almost no heat. The interior and exterior are heavy duty stainless steel with rounded corners, the bottom and rear are galvanized steel, and 2.5 inch high density polyurethane insulation fills the cabinet walls. The body stands 29 1/4 inches tall, or 34 1/4 inches on its four 5 inch swivel casters with locks on the front set, so it rolls out for cleaning and locks in place during service.

Digital Controller that Holds 33°F to 54°F with an Overheat Alarm

A multi-function digital controller with an easy to read LED display ships preset at 35°F and adjusts anywhere from 33°F to 54°F, covering everything from delicate produce to backup dairy. An audible overheat alarm watches the compressor and condenser coil and sounds before a developing problem turns into lost product. Everest backs the unit with 3 year parts and labor, 5 year electrical, and 10 year compressor coverage, supported through its service agent network.

If the stock setup does not match your station, Everest offers additional shelving, a 4 inch high stainless steel backsplash (47 1/2 inches long) for worktop applications, a stainless steel double overshelf that adds two raised 45 by 13.5 inch shelves above the worktop, a 3 inch caster assembly in place of the standard 5 inch set, and height adjustable interchangeable legs from 3.5 to 6 inches.

Keep in mind the shallow chassis trades capacity for clearance: the full depth ETR2 carries 13 cubic feet in the same 47 1/2 inch length, so take the standard cabinet when the aisle allows it, and the single door ETR1-24 covers smaller stations in this same 24 inch depth class. The ETR2-24 also holds refrigerated temperatures only, with a floor of 33°F, so frozen product belongs in the ETF2-24 freezer instead. On its standard casters the unit stands 34 1/4 inches overall, so verify your counter clearance and use the optional 3 inch casters or adjustable legs where the line runs lower. Power is a standard 115V connection drawing 3.5 amps on a 9 foot cord, with no dedicated circuit needed.
